TRAVERSE-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 602,981, dated April 26, 1898.

Application filed December 29,1896. Serial No, 617,314. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM Dunsr, a resident of the city of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Traverse-Rings, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to traverse-rin gs, more especially to that character of traverse-rings which is employed to carry a curtain on a curtain-pole, and has for its object to produce a simple, cheap, and practical traverse-ring which will run true and not bind.

To this end my invention will be understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof, wherein like parts are designated by the same reference-letters, and in which- Figure 1 is a section through a curtain-pole, showing a side view of a traverse-ring embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary section through a plane of the ring, the section being taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary transverse section through the ring, taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the constrnction of the roller exhibited in the beforementioned figures.

In the drawings, a is a ring, preferably of sheet metal, made in one piece and provided with a hanger b, from which a curtain B is suspended. At two points in its circumference the ring is reduced, as at c, to form between shoulders d and e a journal for carrying a roller, which roller is shown in the present instance as a two-part ring f, whose parts f f are joined by pins g g, entering apertures f f in the respective halves of the roller; In constructing my improved traverse ring the seats or journals 0 are first formed in the ring, and the two halves of the roller f thereupon slipped over the said j 0urnal and joined together by the pins 91 9, whose ends are thereupon trued off to correspond with the periphery of the said roller f or cut away in some other desirable manner. The parts of the roller, however, may be otherwise secured together--a.s, for instance, by means of brazing or soldering.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. A traverse-ring comprising a one-piece hollow ring a reduced in thickness at a plurality of places in its circumference to form journals 0, and rings or rollers f surrounding and running upon the said journals 0 and comprising a plurality of sections secured to.- gether.

2. A traverse-ring comprising a one-piece hollow ring a reduced in thickness at a plurality of places in its circumference to form journals 0, and rings or rollers surrounding and running upon the said journals, substantially as described.
